    Due to the nature of the living environment for most of our YWAM teams, with staff and families with small children living in close proximity or working directly with children, young people and/or vulnerable adults, we need to also ask you to complete and sign self-declaration form (below).

    You are also legally required to have a DBS check/Police Check and you won’t be permitted to participate in doing any ministry or outreach until you have successfully obtained one.  This is fairly straight forward and there are clear instructions on how to do it.Once we recieve your application we will send you the details of how to apply for the appropriate Police Record Check. Please email the registrar if you'd like to start that process now (it can take some time).
